Cat-5 Chaos Among Democrats
Save for the fact that it isn’t even slightly funny, those following Democrat politics can be excused for suspecting they’ve stumbled across a Marx Brothers retrospective. Duck Soup made more sense than what’s going on in Democrat circles just now. The upper case D after a person’s name stands for “Dazed and Disoriented.”
Now that Sleepy Joe has finally grasped what should have been obvious long ago — that he’s more in need of assisted living that he is of a second term as president — the aggressive, neo-Marxist (Karl, not Groucho) Democrat ventriloquists will have to find a new dummy if they wish to continue running the country (into the ground).
Kamala has managed to do even less. Early on she was made border czar. Now we don’t even have a border.
But who will it be? Every choice has its dangers. Kamala “Laughing Girl” Harris is certainly clueless enough to be their tool. But could she possibly beat Donald Trump in November? In the latest, admittedly unscientific, approval survey of the members of my gym, Kamala finished two ticks below the heartbreak of Psoriasis, and just one above kidney stones.
In his Sunday endorsement of VP Harris as his successor on the presidential ticket this year, Biden said: “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.” Wow. This explains at lot about the calamitous decisions that have followed. And just as a matter of pride, if this were the best decision I’d ever made, I sure as hell wouldn’t admit it.
The late, great P.J. O’Rourke said the vice president’s only duties are to “pass out mints after state dinners and inquire after the president’s health.” Somehow, against all odds, Kamala has managed to do even less. Early on she was made border czar. Now we don’t even have a border. As for her abilities as a public speaker, well, I’ve known artichokes more articulate than Kamala.
What Now for the Democrats?
It’s glaringly obvious that Kamala is not qualified to sit on the East Overshoe City Council, let alone to be president of the United States. But if Democrats don’t nominate her, through whatever made-up-on-the-moment process they devise to cough up a nominee, enough black female voters, the Democrats’ most reliable constituency, might well stay home Election Day, making a Trump win almost a certainty. (Now that the Donald’s name has come up, I hope he’s nimble enough not to make too much noise right now as the Democrats are dissolving before our eyes. The savvy Casey Stengel counseled: “Never argue with an umpire when you’re ahead — you may wake the other team up.’)
So, what’s a donkey to do? The donkeys don’t know. I don’t either, and wouldn’t tell them if I did know. Patriotic Americanos should not enjoy this chaos too much. Whether or not Biden now serves out his term, or resigns and turns the country over to the tender but incoherent mercies of Kamala, it’s clear that in a very dangerous world, America is essentially leaderless for at least another half year. Biden and Harris are both non-working numbers. Very bad medicine. For America, and for the rest of the world.
